Some days, the Internet overwhelms me. Its offerings become just so much background noise, and I can’t wait to click away from Twitter, Facebook, and other Web 2.0 offerings so I can get back to work.
At other times, I appreciate the democracy of the Internet and, particularly, its chief benefit for those of us who care about book promotion opportunities: if the traditional media outlets are finding your book underwhelming, and they’re not offering to interview you, then who care? You can broadcast your own interview online directly to your target audience, and given that, who needs an interview opportunity on someone else’s traditional media outlet to promote a book?
